trenchant answer /:

Let us see how the Interstate Commerce Act
VIII demonstrate the value of our WATERWAYS
1t Will not deepen them. 1t viii not straighten
them. 1t will not put more water in them and
keep them navigable during the summer 1t
viii not prevent the formation of ice in the
winter. 1t will not establish docks for the re-
pair of steamboats, without cost. 1t will do no.
thing whatever to remove any of the obstacles
TO navigation nothing whatever to lessen the
cost or water transportation or to make it more
rapid What this law does is to forbid the rail-
roads TO make lower rates than the boat lines
can make. The restoration of river commerce
Is to be brought about by an increase in freight
charges. The interstate commerce law is to ex-
tend bounty to the river lines; it is to give
them the right to exact tribute from our inter-
nal commerce; it is TO protect them from COM
petition by rail. Or to state the case differ
emily, the law which was passed under the
belief and the promise that it was to reduce the
transportation tax is to be sustained, because in
the interest OF special classes it increases the
charge for this service. Men who looked on
our water courses as things of the past had no
idea of the influence of water transportation on
freight rates. 1t is not legislation that fixes
maximum charge; when that has been done in
any instance competition has forced the charge
far below the legal limit. Rates are low be-
cause the vast network of rivers makes the
rates. The value of our waterways was never
greater than now. Their influence was never
more potent. They should be guarded and i'm
proved, not only 10 accommodate river traffic
but rs an irresistible check on railroads But to
spend millions on the rivers and then, as in the
fourth section of the new law to forbid the rail
roads to meet water transportation, is not to
demonstrate their value but it is to nullify their
influence on freight rates. and remove the
only effective check which can be imposed on
Z n tax

In other words, a tree-trade Democratic
administration has protected water carriers
at the expense of the consumers of the
country, and at the same time belittled the
value of the waterways by giving trans
porters thereon virtual monopoly of the
privilege TO carry cheaply.

THEY are having some pretty cold
weather in Montana, too. Reports
from all over the territory show de-
plorable state of affairs. The ther-
mometer has been ranging from 40 to
60 below for the past ten days. Spec
ials from Ft. Assiniboine and FITS.
Shaw and Benton say that cattle are
now dying from exposure by the
thousands. At Ft. Benton grave
fears are entertained in regard to fuel,
which is getting very scarce, many
families being out of fuel. All hopes
of saving the cattle have vanished.
The relief parties of cowboys who
have been driving the cattle out of the
lOwlands and out of the cuts have
been compelled to abandon them to
their fate, ewing to the cold. The
feed is covered two to three feet.
Men who counted their heads by
thousands and who were rated at a
million, will be worse than penniless.
This will put the stock business all
into the hands of small stock growers
hereafter, instead of large companies
AS heretofore. This winter has shown
to the cattle men that vast herds can
not be sustained on the plains of Mon
tana and expect them to subsist with
out feed or shelter the same as those
on the fertile plains of Idaho and
Southern Colorado. A great many
lives have been lost by exposure this
winter. Several stage coaches have
been lost. Relief parties are out now
after them but fears are entertained
that the drivers with several passen-
gers are frozen to death. The Indian
commissioners, who are now at Ft.
Benton, had Il very narrow escape.
They were lost in a blizzard 38 hours.
having been lost OF the prairie. Re-
ports come from all parts of the ter
ritory that men have been frozen in
such manner that they will have their
lower limbs amputated below the
knee Joints This winter is the So
yerest there has been for the past ten
years.

THE Northern Pacific railroad has
appropriated 100000 for the pur-
chase of seed wheat to supply the
farmers along its lines, which it pro
poses to furnish them without any in
terest whatever All it asks is secur-
ity that it viii get back its principal
in case there is another failure. II
takes the chances, in such event, of
losing the wheat it has loaned. There
is not il chance that it will make any
thing except from the legitimate tran
sportation of grain that may be pro-
duced as a result Of the distribution
of seed. And this is the grinding
monopoly our South Dakota division
friends want US TO cut loose from.

The G. NJ & st. P. railway de-
serves great credit for the persistency
with which it is endeavoring to keep
its lines open this winter, and that,
too, under the most disconraging cir
cumstances. No sooner has the road
been cleared after one storm than an
other comes and fills the cuts worse
